The Funeral Suits

The Funeral Suits are three snot nosed young men from Dublin and Limerick. The three came together in 2008 to write a soundtrack for the apocalypse but when that didn’t happen they formed the Funeral Suits. With a common disgust for the generic indie bands that had taken over the music scene the three conspired to form a band so that they could write some songs that would make their friends smile for a while.
